Most jurisdictions now call it Criminal Threats. In CA its a PC422. Wobbler. Can be charged as a misdo or a felony. As a felony it can also count as a strike felony. Lots of degrees and wide discretion.

"Terroristic threats" has likely been a crime for longer than the word "terrorism" has been in common usage (at least as "terrorism" is currently understood). Here's the Minnesota statute:

609.713 TERRORISTIC THREATS.Subdivision 1.Threaten violence; intent to terrorize.Whoever threatens, directly or indirectly, to commit any crime of violence with purpose to terrorize another or to cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly, vehicle or facility of public transportation or otherwise to cause serious public inconvenience, or in a reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. As used in this subdivision, "crime of violence" has the meaning given "violent crime" in section 609.1095, subdivision 1, paragraph (d).
